in the Jewish antiquities, a musical instrument. This, and the Hebrew cinner, which is generally translated cithera, lyra, or psalterium, are the same. It was made of wood, and was played on the temple of Jerusalem. Josephus says that the cinyra of the temple had ten strings, and that it was touched with a bow. In another place he says that Solomon made a great number of them with a precious kind of metal called eletrum; wherein he contradicts the scripture, which inform us that Solomon’s cinners were made of wood.
